Leverage Lab was created to solve a problem that all businesses face: spinning wheels, duplicating work, and the never-ending struggle of working towards the future when the present is so darn demanding.

Doing Collaboration Differently

We pull together industry and thought leaders and host facilitated dialogue around shared challenges to uncover opportunities to collaborate and solve problems that we collectively face.

Innovation is more than just being “sustainable”, it’s about creating solutions that make the business AND the community better. It’s about supporting thoughtful change and encouraging solutions that push beyond traditional thinking.

I’ve been lucky enough to work with amazing organizations like Surfrider Foundation, Save on Meats, Intuit, Salt Spring Coffee, Fairware, Novex, Intact Insurance, Meridian Insurance and Mills Basic and have now partnered with VF, VEC, Vancity, SPEC, and THNK to bring the power of collaboration to Vancouver businesses this October.
